A truly remarkable film

Rating: Null/10 (2 January 2004)

Well written, well acted, and well received! Three thumbs up for this movie, the first I've purchased since Les Miserables! English is so limited in superlatives, but this movie deserves them all. Some have commented, 'this was a disappointment' for them; they erred in expecting it to be more than it was-- a legend. Legends die, that's what makes them memorable . Although not a hidden agenda of the author, I took a valuable lesson away from this movie. And it becomes clearer with each time I re-watch it (#7 so far) Don't lock yourself in your own little world--get off the ship of your little town or die in it! The truly great men from Jesus to Bill Gates got out of their hometown, and small town thinking, this resulted in greatness for both of them and thousands of others who did the same. Not to be measured financially-- but how they affected others in a positive way. You and I can be that... a great force for good , by taking our skills and using them for the common good. Don't sink with your ship, die knowing you've changed something
for the better.
